Well, I transfered one of my Windows 2000 index.html's to my FreeBSD
system in binary mode and this is what I got.
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">^M
<html>^M
^M
<head>^M
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=iso-8
859-1">^M
<meta name="generator" content="Microsoft FrontPage
4.0">^M
<title>Kent Stewart's Home Page</title>^M
There was a screen full of this. I thought that was visual mode :).
From col 1 on line one I typed in
:.,$s/^M//g
and my screen converted to
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=iso-8
859-1">
<meta name="generator" content="Microsoft FrontPage
4.0">
<title>Kent Stewart's Home Page</title>
<meta name="VPSiteProject"
content="file:///C|/WEBSHARE/WWWROOT/
I don't have any idea what you did wrong at this point. The
<ctrl>v<ctrl>m produced the "^M" sequence, which then deleted all of
the <cr>'s in the file.
